:roll: I take this as a jab to those who live in Mobile Homes. At least they have a home. I think it sad that people make fun of people for living in Mobile homes. I see it all the time and it makes me so upset. Geez.
For crying out loud, if you can read something and find an interpretation that offends you, by all means do so. Ditto to swgb who sent me a message that I'm a "snob". Your interpretation was so silly it wasn't worth dignifying, so I responded with "Roll Tide", due to the caricature that a lot of Alabama fans live in trailer homes (ok, not really a caricature). That was deleted by the moderator here. A real friend (we know each other through real life, not through the internet message board) who graduated from The University asked twice why it was deleted and his post was deleted both times. Get over yourselves, people.
My point was that a new Wal-Mart isn't anywhere near as aesthetically unappealing as an abandoned 1980s single wide (or the nearby hideous strip centers, etc), that I see FROM HIGHWAY 98 every morning and evening driving to and from my office. Further I was trying to point out that the kind folks that live in the single-wides who cannot afford to purchase their bedding at Pizitz might find a south Walton WalMart a convenient alternative to driving into Destin.
Miss Critter - and you have no idea how ridiculous I feel as a grown man with a family and a career addressing someone by their internet name - nailed my point. It wasn't that hard. 98 is already much uglier than Wal-Mart. The numerous people in south Walton that don't have a lot of money will probably appreciate it, especially with the economy in the commode. The end.
I hate shopping in Wal-Mart. It's dirty. It's crowded. I have to be close to poor, fat people (that, SWGB, is being a snob). However, I'd like to make the decision whether or not to shop there rather than people with too much time on their hands to stand out and protest the place because it "
is evil and sucks the soul out of any area it moves into (sic)". Further, any employee there has the option of walking away and finding another job, so enough about how they are treated like USSR dissidents, but you all can fight about that amongst yourselves.
Now, I'll go back to not posting here and letting all of the people with enough time and inclination to post 12,711 times to do so. I'll be driving up to Defuniak tomorrow morning to cut down a Christmas tree, watching Tebow clinch the Heisman in the afternoon, headed to church Sunday morning, cooking a big dinner and getting in the attic Sunday night, etc. so I probably won't be responding to all of the hate mail coming. Feel free to call me by my Christian name rather than my internet name as well.
Best,
Philip
